How to Fix Shifting Issues in a T-5 Manual Transmission

Фильм және анимация

In this video I attempt to diagnose and repair the T-5 manual transmission in my wife's Monte Carlo SS. Something is causing the shifter to stick in and in-between gears. With some help from an expert I was able to find the problem and easily repair it. Once the shifting issue is fixed I also go over step-by-step instructions on how to modify and install a Ford shifter on a Chevy transmission. Thanks for watching!

    You are the first person to sum this up perfectly and as I understand. I got lazy and ordered some crappy shifter for the S10 and while not being impressed I will probably install it anyhow when swapping units. Thanks for explaining one of the major faults in the Chevy t5

    Awesome info!!! I think you might have solved my problem, when I first got the T5 for my swap I noticed it was stuck in a gear, I disassembled it, couldn’t find anything wrong then put it back together and it shifted. I’ve only put about 20 miles on the car since I built it and last Sunday it got stuck in 3rd then wouldn’t go into 4th at all unless I forced it. When it did go into 4th it would get stuck and I’d have to knock it out. Im pulling the transmission tonight and this will be the first thing I check now!

    Funny stuff. "All 3 of you guys still using these". LOL. That's me. Wanted to see a way to move the shift rail, (thru the gears)"W/O" the shifter installed. Not sure if it's possible. Thanx for th video.

    This was perfect! I picked up a "T-5" shifter at a swap meet not realizing it was for a Ford T-5 and not a GM. I was curious if it was possible to modify the shifter to still make it work. Any update on this, have you had any issues with it ?

    I was at the drift track in my mustang, dropping from 3rd to 2nd. It grinded then popped out. Now I don’t have 1st but all other gears are smooth. Any ideas??

    Maybe you can pinpoint what’s wrong with my t5, I’m hearing a loud clunking the faster I go and it only does it when the drivetrain is moving and I also feel a hard thumping under my feet it gets worse the faster I go

    How often was your tranny sticking? I have a similar issue and I'm about to have the tranny out tomorrow to do the clutch. Mine has stuck on me maybe three or four times in the last 5 months. Not sure if it's because of my clutch not disengaging properly or if it is possible it's this part. I also get a bit of grinding in second and fourth on quick shifts. And first hates me unless I shift it in really slow and really doesn't like going into first while rolling. Clutch disengagement or synchros? Any ideas are much appreciated!

    They generally don’t go into first when rolling but if it doesn’t go in with the clutch disengagement as with mine haha well looks like replacement of the hydraulic system just wasn’t enough 😆

    That's my fear, I've accidentally dropped to 2nd from the top of 3rd on I-4 on my Si, can be pretty scary even on a 2019 lol

    I believe it's called a shift rail selector. To the best of my knowledge all T5s use the same part with the exception of the later updated one. It should interchange.
